Here's an idea for an RP that is mostly on the verge of becoming a story if it doesn't kick off well.
The RP takes place in an alternate-history Earth, a world where Pangea (the super continent) never split off and dinosaurs reigned as the top creatures for millions of years. Fast forward to the year 3025 where the world has been divided between two separate powers in it's wake:
Pangean Democratic Republic (PDR)
The democratic government controlling the southern and western regions of Pangea, several cities are set up across it's lands along with it's constant ideals to keep their environment clean and pollution free. It's citizens live in a free environment in which they are able to choose their own jobs and roles in society, your basic society running on a policy of democracy I suppose.
Rekzor's Empire (RE)
This is the warring side to the PDR, an empire run by the cruel Burrunjor Emperor Rekzor Talus, the empire was established several thousands of years ago by the Talus family who felt themselves having no place in the PDR (feeling as if their territory wasn't being run correctly by the people in power). The entire difference between the two sides is that Rekzor's Empire concentrate more on mechanical and technological enhancements to society saying that, "The body can be perfected no matter what" along with his lands having a more industrial look to them due to factories churning out new weapons/vehicles/etc. for the military in their constant struggle against the PDR. The citizens of this Empire are practically brainwashed into seeing Rekzor as an almighty figure who's decisions are for the good of the people no matter what they are, this state of mind means they would be willing to put their lives on the line for their great Emperor if needed (an army with such dedication to their country is a dangerous one in combat)
Another additional note about the two sides is how their troops are equipped for combat. PDR troops are given mandatory enhancement drugs upon joining (something that gives them a muscular build, more stamina, etc.) mostly to better increase their chances against the forces they fight against. Rekzor's military are more about technological augmentations to the body with troops usually getting cerebral updates (their vision becomes a HUD, resistance to flashbangs, filters placed in their lungs making them immune to lethal gases and such). Combat drones also have a center place in the armed forces usually controlled by designated 'Hackers' (in this world knowledge of technology can be a very big deciding factor, Hackers are units in both militaries that go into combat to provide support roles for troops either through controlling Drones, keeping a clear line to command and other ways to be revealed later) with both sides' drones differing in control and size.
I'm getting off topic here, down to the plot of the RP.
The RP takes place in a designated DMZ between the PDR and RE, the DMZ is a large city given the name "Sandtrap City" by locals due to it's location in the desert. The city was placed as a DMZ but to failed attempts from both sides to hold it against one another, constant sandstorms and it's size make it difficult to holdout in so it's left as an independent power between the two sides. One of Rekzor's scientists struck a deal with the PDR, he would give them information on experiments and projects in the Empire in exchange for a new life in their territory. The agreement was made and he managed to escape the Empire making his way to the DMZ, the PDR (not wanting to violate the DMZ with their own military) hires mercenaries to go in and extract the scientist to their border. This won't be an easy assignment as Rekzor has gotten word of the recent defection and sent a group of special forces (disguised as locals) into the city to find and eliminate the scientist.
So how does this sound? Any questions?
